Why are the nexus drivers needed ? I just plugged mine in to PC for first time on this ROM, pressed turn on USB storage when it appeared in my status bar and both internal and external sd popped up on my PC screen

Do you have SDK on your comp? If you do you probably have the drivers without knowing it.
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
Me too.... But i had Android sdk installed. If you've got adb working then it should just happen.

Edit .. ninja'd ..

Phoned in.....
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
No SDK. I've never even used SDK on any PC
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
I have installed the kg3 as of now will see if that helps ...
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
Good for you
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
I hate to ask this, and I know someone already posted where to look, but are you sure you're looking in the correct location?
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
I've gotten this wonky bug on several versions of this ROM but never really thought to ask anyone else. Anyone ever reboot only to have your remaining battery percentage be terribly inaccurate?

I just ignore it and keep on trucking. Most of the time it just fixes itself
[Captivate Android Development] ak789:
Yes, you are correct as the ROM is based on ICS, the phone will require these drivers. If you want to see how to install them, this may help.

How do I improve my battery life?

It CLEARLY said "For best battery life, flash with 100% charge" but NOOO! I couldn't wait! So I went and flashed with 70% and now I'm pulling 6 hours tops. What can I do to recalibrate or whatever it is I have to do in order to improve my battery life? Before I had around double the current battery life.

I tried an advanced search but came up with nothing. Any help is appreciated! I love this pure ICS awesomeness! The way android is meant to be!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Let it do a full cycle or 2. It will go back to normal. You could try bump charging and deleting battery data, but in my experience it gets better as it settles.
[Captivate Android Development] rufex2001:
Thanks!

Thanks! I'll give it a shot!

scottcwhite has asked if anyone had their camera fc when changing some settings. Mine does exactly that. I tried changing the size of the picture and it FCed a couple of times. Also, when you touch the screen to focus, and then try to adjust some settings, the touch will respond to the focusing on the screen, rather than the settings button, thus not allowing me to change anything anymore. Am I doing something wrong here or is this an issue?
[Captivate Android Development] dallasweb:
FYI, The OP was re-ordered/cleaned up, It's still available from the OP but you have to look carefully, Go to the "Common Issues" section, click the link, then Click the "Downloads" tab, then DL the datafix.zip.

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
It is to my understanding that camera is a wip. It's closed source and harder to mess with. No clue if this will be addressed in RC4, nothing to do but wait and see.
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
Had it happen a few times. Usually plug it in. You say it corrects itself,

I'll let it go next time and see what happens.

I've just continued to use Camera Zoom FX as my default as I did with past ROMS. It's better than native stock either way
[Captivate Android Development] grndnl:
Hey every one, thanks for the ROM.

BUT

Since when did the T9 stop working in the phone app?! :(
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Top thing I love about this ROM or ICS 4.0 in general is the fact that you can swipe your notifications bar from the lockscreen.

It's so convienent to get an email notification and just swipe down and click and it automatically unlocks the phone and opens the email.

Thanks again DEV's for bringing ICS to the Cappy

any issues using "Camera Zoom FX" on this ROM? I thought to buy it, but figured it would behave the same as the stock camera. Thanks.

Incoming call?????

Some calls don't ring. If I happen to look at the phone the incoming call pops up and shows but no ring. Just started happening. Any ideas?

I've changed modems but that's not the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
When u say "modem" do u mean the phone itself or the phone modem software/rom? Cuz this very phone works fine with good signal but on different roms....it seems that only this sgsics release is giving me signal issues...is that possible...does this make sense?

I'm still a bit new at this and don't know much about "modems" as part of this process...I see the post above mentioned a problem and he changed "modems"... isit a small software fileor update? Are they made for phone or rom? And this can help with my signl issues? If so and suggest I try this..where is best to get this file(s) and how to install? Thanks

And secondly I just noticed on the back of my captivate when i take off the cover, above the battery and by the sim/mem slot there is a tiny hole with a round gold contact that looks like a tiny antenna post for some sort of external antenna...is that so?
[Captivate Android Development] jev3gs:
problem with the ext sd that I had is no app could find it. For instance documents to go couldn't find any of my excel or PDF files on the ext sd, even if I found it and opened it once. I unfortunately believe it is the norm unless anyone knows otherwise.

Look around, there's a modded dialer. They threw it into rc 2.1.1 but took it out of this one. You can probably pull it from there or maybe a cm9 build.

Occasionally it worked well for me, but most of the time the app would hang. If you find out, let me know how it is.
[Captivate Android Development] dallasweb:
I've had a similar experience, but only for contacts that had a assigned a custom ring tone too, either from an mp3 ring tone on my ext sdcard or ring tone library.

Sorry, no fix from me...will watch for any insight from the dev's. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
I've also had similar problem with ringing of the phone but actually the issue is it only ringing once.. ie I like simple ring tones.. there aren't many on this rom but I used "digital ring" and when u sample this to hear what it sounds like, it rings for a couple secs...like all phones...and like all phones when a call comes in it loops whatever ringtone is selected..but for some reason on this rom that ring tone it only rings once and then goes silent waiting for me to answer...anyone else get this or know of this? When I switch to a different ringtone that is longer and doesn't need to loop, I'm ok...but id like to use that digital ring and can't cuz only one ring...thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
You could always copy the file onto a computer and use something like Audacity to loop the tone manually. Then just copy the new file back on the phone.

Happens to me quite often. Usually after powering off and then back on. I get lucky and SEE that my phone us ringing. Then I go into settings-sound and under Phone Ringtone instead of it showing the ROM ringtone that I previously selected it says "Unknown Ringtone". I pick a ringtone again and it works fine until it decides to mysteriously switch back to unknown. Don't know why it is happening other than I think there are still internal/external sd read issues.

Next time it happens to you look in your settings and see if you too are showing unknown ringtone and let me know

Zero issues and app has been updated for ICS. The nicest thing is that you can manually enter the save path to mnt/emmc API that photos save to your removable add card saving space on your phone. The stock app stores not offer this feature even if it did work.

Also recommend for anyone who had not already done so to Google galaxy nexus users manual and read the owners manual for the phone. Ignoring phone specific instructions it is very informative on the features of ICS 4.0 and the apps related to ICS and everything they can do, how they work, etc. it's free on the web of course as a pdf

[Captivate Android Development] silentheero:
What we refer to as AOSP on here is the base android with no modifications beside the hardware drivers. The Cyanogen Mod takes the AOSP and heavily optimizes it and adds many beneficial mods. See their about page for their info. After they mod it to their liking, individual devs will take that and make versions for the phones and tablets that include hardware drivers and any mods, hacks, or patches needed to run it on the specific device.

This port of ICS was made for the I9000, but since the cappy shares so much hardware with it, it is a quick patch to get it to run on here.

Great Job Devs

I have been flashing since Alpha 5, this is by far your best work. I have also been following Teamhacksung's build and they seem to be having way more problems than this build. Way to go. Sad to see that their's will be CM9. I followed them for CM7 and was quite pleased. I am enjoying your work and I am so happy that I get a taste of ICS since I have to wait till April for a phone upgrade. Thanks for keeping my dreams alive. Keep up the great work.

The last couple days I'd been playing with ics heavily so I didn't not notice any drain til today. I pulled my phone out after beening unplugged for 2 hours and no use and saw over 40% drain during the 2 hours and Media was at 55%. Phone is dead now 4 hours after unplug with no calls or texts and few minutes of screen time. Was is media usage so high?

Installation steps

Well, I couldn't resist any longer and decided to flash this beta. I did a factory reset and then did all the steps in the OP. I was flashing over a CM7 Kang build with Glitch V13. After flashing the ROM twice and flashing the Beta kernel, I rebooted and saw the initial splash screen - ICS guy flying and then it went dark and stayed dark. I then did a 3 button reboot into recovery and now had a different recovery (CWM 5.5 instead of the Glitch recovery). I installed the ROM again and wiped data and it is running fine now. I still have to restore apps, etc but wanted to mention this in case anyone else runs into it. I've seen sometimes where you have to be on the right kernel and recovery before you can successfully flash a ROM. Maybe flashing the ROM, flashing the kernel, then pull the battery and proceed would be better?
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
Well as it says in the instructions, you have to flash the rom. Pull out the battery. Boot into recovery then flash twice. They are clear that you have to do this

Same here. If you keep getting those reboots, you really should consider a master clear and see if don't solve your problem.

Bluetooth file transfer

Hey all, great work on the ROM. Love it!

Has anyone been able to transfer files over bluetooth with a Win 7 64-bit OS? Pairing for PRemoteDroid works just fine, and it does pair but won't allow file transfer.

I have scoured this and a few other forums to no avail. It seems Samsung hasn't released bluetooth drivers for the Captivate - has anyone had success?

Here is hoping I missed something simple.

I have restored to stock 2.1 and worked my way through this ics version.

Every upgrade step I allow the sim to connect to att without issue until I get to ics. I simply cannot get any service on this build. I have tried several modems from the cm7 modem thread without luck. I also tried the jvt package in the op without success. Help please?

Thanks to all!

ok guys have a situation hope you can point me to the right direction...

I flash the rom to another phone like I did to mine and when I reboot in recovery mode at&t image flashes 2 times and then goes back to recovery mode.

Suggestions please!!!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you wipe and reflash? If you did I would flash with odin something and try again.

Another idea is (if you have the zip) is flash 2.11 first see if that one takes.

Whensomeone says to try a different modem for your phone what exactly are they referring to? Is that a software or firmware file for the phone hardware that can be changed on any giving phone to help fix data voice and signal issuues? Sorry but still bit new at this and since updating to this latest sgsics rom (which is awesome btw) my signal and range is terrible! I install stock rom or any other custom rom and its totally fine and back to normal working condition, which for this phone (cappy) is just fine...thanks
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
Yes the modem we refer to is a bit of software that controls the physical modem (radio chip).

There are too many variables for there to be a "right"one. Each location/phone gives different results.. Hence the best advice is to try some and see. They are easy and safe to flash, no need to wipe anything. Check the sticky in captivate Android development. There are lots so pick a few and try.

Kg3, jv5, jv9, have been good to me.

Be sure to use the cm/miui/ics. Versions.

Phoned in.....
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Thanks fractaline... I just found an xda page about modems for the cappy phone and was reading up on them too but the ones that were there and there were many were all for froyo and gingerbread roms and I was about tto ask if I could use those but I guess that's a no? And should find the page u were talking about and it has many that are for this ics release? I see the install is simple.. I also read about checking and changing the band to 850, etc is any of that necessary?

Were u referring to the last sticky by oxicottin that is for i897s using ics? I found it but couldn't find the modem files it was referring to.. unless the sticky above it was applicable files for ics too...

Actually I think I just found some in the oxicottin sticky further down in the post but does anyone have the link to the master page that is talked about that has all the modems for sgh-i897 phones on cw7 muiu and ics? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html

Look there. you want the i9000 modems for this ROM/kernel set up. No way to isolate 850 on ics that I've found.. Not like on Samsung roms.

More discussion on modems should go in that thread. :)

Phoned in.....
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Thanks again fractaline! Awesome link! Exactly what I was looking for! I would click thanks but I dunno if this xda app has the button..only find it on desktop site...

Anyways gonna give em a try...somethings gotta be better cuz as said on other roms on this phone my signal was fine but with this ics and whatever modem came with it...not so good....

Oh and as for the 850 band isolation...the first sticky on the page u talked about had some explanation about using *#2263# and from there I was apparently able to switch from auto to 850 on my phone...is that not good? Does that help?

Thanks again..much appreciated..can't wait to test

Oh and there are a ton of modems on that page...is it true that's its good to save several on my phone so I can. Change to diff modems on the fly when I'm in diff areas and may be experiencing issues?
[Captivate Android Development] fractaline:
This ROM does not have the service menu that that code accesses...

So you cannot use it... I have not found anything the same for ics.

im not sure about with ICS but with stock roms built off i9000 modems there are a few tricks to get 850 band working... oh wait... only some modems support 850 and 1900... what modem are you using? might want to read the modem sticky, go to the other site hosting the modems and map. and read about the modem dance. and search xda for rat-selection trick
